I remember when that first monthly moment happened. My parents were divorced and I was temporarily living with my Dad. I had no clue what to do or what I was going through. No one had talked to me about it and I was so embarrassed about what was happening to me. Of course once I was able to talk to my mom she took care of all my questions and physical needs but do you know that in other areas of … [Read more...]

Sometimes lunch can be a battle around here in the summer. One kid wants one thing, the other kid wants something else, and well, I don't want either of their choices. Making all three separate meals is torture for doing dishes and it this heat the last thing I want to do is stand over the sink.
Bagel Bites are always a choice we can all agree on and I can pop in the oven while we're still … [Read more...]

I live in Western Ma and lately our very small area has been in the news for so many reasons. One of them caught major headlines when Phoebe Prince killed herself because the pressure from bullying in high school became too much. Sadly everyone from students, parents, and even school officials were aware of what was going on and no one did anything. Maybe if they had she would still be here. Maybe … [Read more...]

Finding healthy snacks for my family always seems like a struggle. Fresh fruit and vegetables are always the best option but with the prices of things these days it's not always possible to keep the fridge stocked year round with them. Most of the time I find my family digging through the pantry trying to find something to eat but sadly many of the options in there aren't healthy options. Then I … [Read more...]

My husband he's allergic to everything! If that wasn't bad enough he also has allergies. In about a month his eyes will start getting swollen and the countless sneezes will begin. He gets so miserable with his allergies that he makes the rest of us miserable along with him. Years later I've learned that I can make all of our lives easier by just doing a few simple things around our home to cut … [Read more...]

I know all the benefits of hand sanitizer but I didn't care. The only thing I cared about was the fact that the minute it touched my hands I wanted to cry. See, I suffer from severe psoriasis and have open wounds all over my skin. My hands are one of my worst areas. On top of the open wounds they also dry out and crack and bleed. It's not pretty. So, in the past when I thought of hand sanitizer I … [Read more...]

There is a lot of attention in products being advertised these days regarding fiber. So much in fact it could make your head spin. With so many options it makes it hard to focus. What if it was as easy as taking two chewable tablets before you walked out the door in the morning? No counting your fiber in your foods or buying specialty food. My husband recently got addicted to some granola bars … [Read more...]

Years ago I never would have thought there was a need to have Cottonelle Moist Flushable Wipes and then kids came. Toilet paper can only do so much and there comes a time when you realize that you need a little help. Gone are my days of baby wipes but I still need something for my boys. Not only that but my diaper pails are gone and I have no where to dispose of baby wipes anymore. That's why I … [Read more...]

Allergies are a constant battle in our home. It seems like I am the only one who doesn't suffer from them and sometimes I think that makes it worse. The kids are too young to really do anything about it and the husband, well, he just likes to whine and complain and do nothing about it. I have tried to do what I can about making it easier on them. Yet somehow I always do it wrong. Opening the … [Read more...]
